Wusong Riverfront Phase I Pilot Project
Wusong Riverfront Phase I Pilot Project
SWA synergizes development and environment with amenities that are supported by a water-quality improvement system.
Guided by a regional riverfront restoration vision, a water treatment pilot project is being implemented upon reclaimed post-industrial borrow pits and a degraded water network. Monitoring and in-field adjustments to the design and implementation will inform the future phases of work. The project will serve as a model for landscape infrastructure supporting wild-life habitat, public education, and economic growth along the Wusong River corridor. The pilot project is sited upstream of future development parcels, and intakes both river water and municipal stormwater outfalls. The system mimics a wide variety of natural processes and acts as the “kidney” for the river, cleaning sludge and industrial effluents discharged into the river upstream, extending the benefits of the park downstream to a larger region. A sequence of pools and channels remove targeted pollutants through settling, filtration, aeration, and bioprocessing in alternating oxic and anoxic environments. SWA Group: www.swagroup.com
